A sample of limestone and other soil materials was heated, and the limestone decomposed to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. CACO3 (s) → Ca0(s) + CO2 (g) A 3.043 g sample of limestone-containing material gave 1.25 g of CO2, in addition to CaO, after being heated at a high temperature. What was the mass percent of CaCO3 in the original sample?

Expert Solution
Step 1

CaCO3(s) --> CaO(s)+ CO2(g)

Mass of lime stone containing sample = 3.043g

CO2 produced = 1.25g
